Event Basics

https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/0034/int/forum/pictures/2015_12_xmas/gift_framed.pngPresents
Presents represent the event resource. They can be used to acquire special items from the event shop.
Your presents are listed in the "Event" tab of your storehouses.
There are many opportunities to get event resources:

Rewards for Christmas Scenarios (Buff Adventures)
Two combat based Christmas Adventures (chance to get presents as an additional reward)
Special Christmas Daily Quests and Event Quest chain rewards
Explorer treasure searches (chance to get presents on top)
Conversion of the Christmas collectables in the Mayor's House
Event Calendar
Trade with players
Present packages in the Shop






https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/0034/int/forum/pictures/2015_12_xmas/header_collectibles.png



Bells, Candy canes, and Gingerbread. Did you miss them? These Christmas collectibles will spawn on your island until the removal phase of the event. Nine collectibles will spawn with every spawn cycle, randomly chosen between bells, candy canes, and gingerbread. All of them reward exactly 2 resources when clicked. Please be aware that for the full number of collectibles to spawn, the whole (main) island has to be claimed.

The Christmas collectible items can be converted into Presents in your Mayor's house until the removal phase of the event. Trading is possible until the removal phase of the event as well.

Isn't it nice to receive a gift each day, just by clicking on a door? To open the Event Calendar interface, simply access the Calendar icon next to your avatar.

https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/0034/int/general/2018_12_xmas/2018_calendar_access.png


4 DIFFERENT TYPES OF DOORS

You can open a door each day. In total, there are 21 of them.
The calendar will display the time left to open the current day's door.


https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/0034/int/forum/pictures/2015_12_xmas/calendardoor_1.png
Type: Regular door
Description: Can be opened on the specific date displayed or for gems afterward
Requirement: It doesn't matter if previous doors are still closed or not


https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/0034/int/forum/pictures/2015_12_xmas/calendardoor_3.png
Type: Buff Adventure door
Description: Can be opened anytime for free, once the respective date was reached
Requirement: It doesn't matter if previous doors are still closed or not


https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/0034/int/forum/pictures/2015_12_xmas/calendardoor_2.png
Type: Special bonus door
Description: Can be opened on the specific date displayed or for gems afterward
Requirement: All previous doors need to be open


https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/0034/int/forum/pictures/2015_12_xmas/calendardoor_4.png
Type: Celebration day door
Description: Can be opened on the specific date displayed or for gems afterward
Requirement: All previous doors need to be open
Rewards: Very special rewards ;)

Opening missed doors for gems will cost 100 gems for normal doors and 300 gems for special doors due to a very high value in the calendar. The "Celebration Day" and "Bonus" doors are both "special doors".


Don't forget to open the doors daily and also remind your friends to do so!

IMPROVED CALENDAR REWARDS
https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/0034/int/forum/pictures/2019_xmas/riverhouse_banner.png

This year we've gone over the entire calendar and adjusted/improved several doors and their respective rewards. The "Regular" doors now have better rewards; some of them from a broader pool of options chosen at random. "Special" and "Celebration" doors have also been improved, but will still retain their ability to let the player choose which reward they want from what is offered. Overall, this is our most rewarding Event Calendar yet, so if you remember to log in each day to open your doors, you'll find your stockings full this Christmas!

And due to popular demand, the Riverhouse will be making a return to this year's calendar since it was well-liked!

https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/0034/int/forum/pictures/2019_xmas/b_riverhouse_s.pngRiverhouse

Description: Cute small riverhouse that can even be built on rivers.
Upgrades: Can be upgraded with tokens 3 times for +10 population (up to 70), for 11, 14 and 17 Tokens.
Recurring: Tearing it down will return it to your Star Menu.
Tradeable/Giftable: Yes/No

Adventures & Quests
<BR>
<BR>

https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/0034/int/forum/pictures/2018_03_easter/EMEA_EN_header_quest_chain_.png
<BR>
This year again features a quest chain that will see you helping Santa build something truly special for your settlers and their holiday cheer!
<BR>
<BR>

2 CHRISTMAS QUEST CHAINS

https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/0034/int/general/2018_12_xmas/stall_xmas_market_small.pngName: Xmas Market<BR>
Minimum requirement: Level 26<BR>
Description: Help Santa bring some festive fun to your settlers and be rewarded with your very own Christmas Bakery building, once you have also completed its companion chain "Winter Wonderland".<BR>
<BR>
https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/0034/int/general/2018_12_xmas/winter_wonderland_icon.pngName: Winter Wonderland<BR>
Minimum requirement: Level 26<BR>
Description: Santa wants your aid in building up his new "Winter Wonderland" island, but not everything is as it seems...<BR>


<BR>
<BR>

https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/0034/int/forum/pictures/2019_xmas/b_christmas_bakery.png
<BR>
Above is the Christmas Bakery! What can it do and how does it work? You know for sure that the nice smell of cakes on your island comes from this beautiful new building. It can be placed anywhere on your island, where it can buff the output of all Mines, Food, and Weapon production buildings in an area around it. This means it's a special building that halves the input costs on top of boosting the output! It can be upgraded 2 times and every level provides one buff. If placed correctly, the potential benefits are extremely lucrative! You also don't need to fret about fully upgrading it this year, as you'll be able to continue doing so in every future Christmas Event. This culture building has a cooldown of 1 week which can be decreased with every further Christmas Bakery. Same as for the Christmas market, only one Christmas Bakery can be activated to apply one buff in its vicinity.
<BR>

<table><tbody><tr><th bgcolor="#d5bb8d"><center><b>Level</b></center></th><th bgcolor="#d5bb8d"><center><b>Move costs</b></center></th><th bgcolor="#d5bb8d"><center><b>Upgrade costs</b></center></th></tr><tr><td>1</td><td>-</td><td>Presents 1500<br />Marble 1500</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>ExoticPlank 1000<br />Granite 1000</td>
<td>Presents 2500<br />Granite 2500</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>ExoticPlank 2000<br />Granite 2000</td><td>-</td></tr></tbody></table>

We purposefully removed the move-cost of the Christmas Bakery while it's at level one. We know many of you will want to maximise its efficiency, so this lets players try out and test different placements for the building before they beginning to commit to upgrading it. It should be noted that the Christmas Bakery will lose any upgrades it possesses if it's demolished and returned back to the Star Menu; we've added an additional confirmation box to prevent any unfortunate mishaps!
<BR>
What's also noteworthy is the cost of the buffs themselves: they're quite cheap for the powerful output bonuses they provide:<BR>
<BR>
<table><tbody><tr><th bgcolor="#d5bb8d"><center><b>Upgrade Level</center></b></th><th bgcolor="#d5bb8d"><center><b>Buff Name</center></b></th><th bgcolor="#d5bb8d"><center><b>Area range</center></b></th><th bgcolor="#d5bb8d"><center><b>Buff cost</center></b></th><th bgcolor="#d5bb8d"><center><b>Description</center></b></th></tr><tr><td>Level 1</td><td>Cookies and Milk</td><td>32x32, squares 16x16</td><td>500 Bronze<br />1000 Water</td><td>Miners: Tripling their output while halving the input taken for 23hours</td></tr><tr><td>Level 2</td><td>Secret Santa</td><td>22x22, squares 11x11</td><td>500 SimplePaper<br />500 Tool</td><td>Food Productions: Tripling their output while halving the input taken for 23hours</td></tr><tr><td>Level 3</td><td>Christmas Songs</td><td>16x16, squares 8x8</td><td>500 IntermediatePaper<br />500 GoldOre</td><td>Weapon Producers: Tripling their output while halving the input taken for 23hours</td></tr></tbody></table>
<BR>

Christmas Bakeries can be upgraded every year

<BR>
<BR>


Presents: While the buff adventures will provide you with Presents during the event until deactivation, the two Combat Christmas Specific Adventures will only have a chance of providing you with Presents.
If you play them after the final event deactivation (see deactivation steps) they won't provide Presents anymore.

It's now custom for Christmas buff adventures to be hidden behind certain Event Calendar doors. Before you redeem them, make sure you're in good holiday spirits; you'll be helping Santa out by delivering gifts to houses on multiple islands!

https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/0034/int/forum/pictures/2015_12_xmas/sad_units.png
<BR>


The buff adventures are balanced for the following level groups which are checked once you open a door: 16-25, 26-35, 36+. There are 6 special adventure doors in the calendar and you needn't use a General, for this Christmas buff adventures require certain types of buffs instead of troops.

This applies to Christmas adventures from the shop. During the event, these adventures drop either buffs or Presents (on top of other loot). With complete deactivation, the chance to get Presents is removed from loot tables. As a result, buffs will always be chosen.
Christmas buff adventures from the Event Calendar are changed, too. They reward gold coins instead of Presents. With event resource conversion, the Christmas buff adventures will be deleted, because you cannot finish them anymore.
Buffs needed for Christmas buff adventures can no longer be produced.
Remaining buffs can be applied on your Mayor's house for a full refund of production resources.








EVENT RESOURCE CONVERSION
(planned for one of the future game updates: January or February)

As usual, all event-related resources will be converted into gold coins.
No event resources are supposed to remain in the game.

The conversion applies to all items of that type, such as

items in your warehouses and in your Star Menu
items included in public trades and friend trades
items attached to in-game mails like loot from adventures or explorer searches



Conversion rates: The final amount will be rounded up.
https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/0034/int/forum/pictures/2015_12_xmas/icon_present.png1 Present = 0.4 gold coins
1 event collectible = 0.04 gold coins


There is no action needed from your side, you will receive an in-game message with the corresponding amount of gold coins.
The Christmas Scenarios from the calendar will be deleted during the conversion.
